It's funny how people get upset at a niche gaming forum like they control the games industry. I remember years ago it was neogaf that was the big bad gaming forum, but now nobody talks about it. Also Reddit and other forums are just fo

Interesting stuff. So they're using Mir and it's still in development. So I think it was like 2013 when the whole "Mir scandal" happened. Like people getting up in arms, Intel refusing to carry their patches etc etc. Wha

Why can't you do that today? Internet connections are much faster. Most people aren't under CG-NAT. Even a raspberry pi can be a server. What are you arguing here? Why is your tech illiterate mum setting up a http server but can&#

They decided to drop java as a plugin because people would browse to a random webpage, and malware would automatically be downloaded to their machines.

I've got a 30mbps upload and a static ipv4 IP and ipv6 /48 subnet. That's my home internet connection. I've got a laptop in my cupboard that is connected to my router. That's my server for a lot of simple things.

How old is the server for this scenario? If it can't run a modern web server as a proxy directly. Then maybe you could set up a VPN tunnel between the server and your fancy cloud VM. But running some ancient hardware not for historical

Buying a raspberry pi to act as an nginx proxy probably costs less than the yearly electricity cost of running a machine like that.

Proxy them through nginx would be what I'd do. Not exactly your use case but when running software that has a complicated HTTPS cert system, I just add nginx in front of it and then use let's encrypt.

Indeed. Also the server the DB is on is RAM constrained. And Postgres making a process per connection brings it right down versus using pgBouncer to pool connections. It seems complicated but it's actually quite simple.

Is that why they say the S in IoT stands for Security?

by Jonnax 6y ago
Yeah. That's the question haha. I've got pgBackrest set up for backups and pgBouncer for connection pooling set up so it's a case of wondering if there is some benefit to the newer versions for someone using it "casually

So I'm running a single Postgres 10 instance for a small project that probably hits about 200 queries a day at most. I haven't upgraded but would it actually be worth the effort?

How many people are talking about these wheels? It's like "have you seen how much Apple are charging for their Mac Pro wheels?!?!" And people are becoming aware that the Mac Pro exists.

Looks interesting. But you can't buy just 1, right? This is something you have to buy in bulk isn't it?

Personally I consider the KDE the only DE that feels like it can compete with an OS like Windows or OSX. It's just a lot of small things that add up to make it feel cohesive. Like how the file explorer has a built in terminal that foll

A pretty awesome adventure to get it working! I admire the perseverance.

Cheating in online gaming is prevalent. I think there's a lot of people that find the enjoyment of it so there's a captive market for people to sell cheats. But I also wonder about competitiveness when it comes to people playing w

You have to define what kind of developers you're talking about. Do they work with graphics? OSX doesn't really have many native games running on it. So clearly there's a whole group of developers who aren't Mac first. L

"new" the cloud is not new. AWS was launched in 2006. Also firewalls/DMZ/IDS has nothing to do with a SaaS offering from GitHub. That on prem setup you mentioned would be practiced by GitHub. My opinion of general on-pre

Okay. So today most desktop apps are electron. The advantage is that it allows people to make windows, Mac and Linux apps with ease. They're not going to go anywhere unless there is a better alternative. Coding native is a waste of mo

What's the benefit in all this effort for you? It's not like you're paying them for support. And it seems like you're modifying the OS in such a way that might break compatibility. Also commercial software? Linux is comm

Don't you have a choice not to run snap applications on a server? If testing of updates is important then shouldn't you be running something's that's imaged or managed by something like ansible?

If a product can't do something, whilst it's competition can without issue. Then it's not really a case of going "but do you really need it?"

Honestly Zoom just works how you expect it to. Other applications do exist and they're bad from a usability perspective. Google hangouts maxes out my CPU. Teams is a horrible electron app which I'm loathe to use. So the negatives
